- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The US/Iran conflict is causing concern for energy supplics and prices and so is a potential inflationary threat to global businesses everywhere. Closer to home the UK government is suffering a lack of popularity and so future policy direction is less certain.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
